The non-linear behaviour of electrorheological (ER) and magnetorheological (MR) dampers makes it difficult to design effective control strategies, and as a consequence a wide range of control systems have been proposed in the literature. These previous studies have not always compared the performance to equivalent passive systems, alternative control designs, or idealised active systems. As a result it is often impossible to compare the performance of different smart damper control strategies. This article provides some insight into the relative performance of two MR damper control strategies: on/off control and feedback linearisation. The performance of both strategies is benchmarked against ideal passive, semi-active and fully active damping. The study relies upon a previously developed model of an MR damper, which in this work is validated experimentally under closed-loop conditions with a broadband mechanical excitation. Two vibration isolation case studies are investigated: a single-degree-of-freedom mass-isolator, and a two-degree-of-freedom system that represents a vehicle suspension system. In both cases, a variety of broadband mechanical excitations are used and the results analysed in the frequency domain. It is shown that although on/off control is more straightforward to implement, its performance is worse than the feedback linearisation strategy, and can be extremely sensitive to the excitation conditions.

In this paper, a numerical model to analyze the performance of a vertical slit-type wave absorber is developed under the assumption of inviscid water waves. The formulation combines the linear potential theory with a semi-empirical description of the eddy-shedding at a slit-type wave absorber. We investigated the reflection coefficients over a wide frequency range for a vertical slit-type wave absorber both with and without a solid rear wall. Model test was conducted at KRISO' s two dimensional wave tank to validate the theoretical results. It is found that the agreement between theoretical results and experimental data is surprisingly good. We found that the wave absorbing system using a vertical slit plate has sufficient potentials for breakwaters for ocean development.

A theoretical analysis was conducted of convective instability driven by buoyancy forces under transient temperature fields in an annular porous medium bounded by coaxial vertical cylinders. Darcy's law and Boussinesq approximation are used to explain the characteristics of fluid motion and linear stability theory is employed to predict the onset of buoyancy-driven motion. The linear stability equations are derived in a global domain, and then cast into in a self-similar domain. Using a spectral expansion method, the stability equations are reformed as a system of ordinary differential equations and solved analytically and numerically. The critical Darcy-Rayleigh number is founded as a function of the radius ratio. Also, the onset time and corresponding wavelength are obtained for the various cases. The critical time becomes smaller with increasing the Darcy-Rayleigh number and follows the asymptotic relation derived in the infinite horizontal porous layer.

The need of ultra-precision machine tools, which manufacture and machine the high precision parts used in computers, semi-conductors and other precision machines, has been increased over years. Therefore it is important to design the driving parts, which affect significantly on their performances. In this paper, the dynamic analyses on the belt-driven system were explored. Relation of the acoustical natural frequency and the tension of belt was derived and presented through experiments. Also, while the dynamic loads on motor system were changed, dynamic deflections were calculated through finite element analysis. Nonlinear characteristics of the bearings having an effect on the dynamic performance were studied and the belt connecting the motor (driving part) to spindle of a machine tool (driven part) was modeled as truss and beam elements fur simulations under various conditions, and a beam element model was verified to be more useful.

As pact of a long-ranged project that aims at establishing database-theoretic semantics as a model of computational semantics, this presentation focuses on the development of a syntactic component for processing strings of words or sentences to construct semantic data structures. For design arid modeling purposes, the present treatment will be restricted to the analysis of some problematic constructions of Korean involving semi-free word order, conjunction arid temporal anchoring, and adnominal modification and antecedent binding. The present work heavily relies on Hausser's (1999, 2000) SLIM theory for language that is based on surface compositionality, time-linearity arid two other conditions on natural language processing. Time-linear syntax for natural language has been shown to be conceptually simple and computationally efficient. The associated semantics is complex, however, because it must deal with situated language involving interactive multi-agents. Nevertheless, by processing input word strings in a time-linear mode, the syntax cart incrementally construct the necessary semantic structures for relevant queries and valid inferences. The fragment of Korean syntax will be implemented in Malaga, a C-type implementation language that was enriched for both programming and debugging purposes arid that was particluarly made suitable for implementing in Left-Associative Grammar. This presentation will show how the system of syntactic rules with constraining subrules processes Korean sentences in a step-by-step time-linear manner to incrementally construct semantic data structures that mainly specify relations with their argument, temporal, and binding structures.

In this paper, we present an efficient numerical method for multiphase image segmentation using a multiphase-field model. The method combines the vector-valued Allen-Cahn phase-field equation with initial data fitting terms containing prescribed interface width and fidelity constants. An efficient numerical solution is achieved using the recently developed hybrid operator splitting method for the vector-valued Allen-Cahn phase-field equation. We split the modified vector-valued Allen-Cahn equation into a nonlinear equation and a linear diffusion equation with a source term. The linear diffusion equation is discretized using an implicit scheme and the resulting implicit discrete system of equations is solved by a multigrid method. The nonlinear equation is solved semi-analytically using a closed-form solution. And by treating the source term of the linear diffusion equation explicitly, we solve the modified vector-valued Allen-Cahn equation in a decoupled way. By decoupling the governing equation, we can speed up the segmentation process with multiple phases. We perform some characteristic numerical experiments for multiphase image segmentation.

We investigate the existence of multiple solutions (${\xi},{\eta}$) for perturbations of the parabolic system with Dirichlet boundary condition $$(0.1)\;\begin{array}{lcr}{\xi}_t=-L{\xi}+g_1(3{\xi}+{\eta})-s{\phi}_1-h_1(x,t)\;in\;{\Omega}{\times}(0,\;2{\pi}),\\{\eta}_t=-L{\eta}+g_2(3{\xi}+{\eta})-s{\phi}_1-h_2(x,t)\;in\;{\Omega}{\times}(0,\;2{\pi}).\end{array}$$ We show the existence of multiple solutions (${\xi},{\eta}$) for perturbations of the parabolic system when the nonlinearity $g^{\prime}_1,\;g^{\prime}_2$ are bounded and $3g^{\prime}_1(-{\infty})+g^{\prime}_2(-{\infty})<{\lambda}_1,\;{\lambda}_n<3g^{\prime}_1(+{\infty})+g^{\prime}_2(+{\infty})<{\lambda}_{n+1}$.

We have a concern with the existence of solutions (${\xi},{\eta}$) for perturbations of the parabolic system with Dirichlet boundary condition $$(0.1)\;\begin{array}{lcr}{\xi}_t=-L{\xi}+{\mu}g(3{\xi}+{\eta})-s{\phi}_1-h_1(x,t)\;in\;{\Omega}{\times}(0,2{\pi}),\\{\eta}_t=-L{\eta}+{\nu}g(3{\xi}+{\eta})-s{\phi}_1-h_2(x,t)\;in\;{\Omega}{\times}(0,2{\pi})\end{array}.$$ We prove the uniqueness theorem when the nonlinearity does not cross eigenvalues. We also investigate multiple solutions (${\xi}(x,t),\;{\eta}(x,t)$) for perturbations of the parabolic system with Dirichlet boundary condition when the nonlinearity f' is bounded and $f^{\prime}(-{\infty})<{\lambda}_1,{\lambda}_n<(3{\mu}+{\nu})f^{\prime}(+{\infty})<{\lambda}_{n+1}$.

기존의 연구들은 댐퍼만에 의한 부가감쇠비의 Universal Curve만을 제공하였기 때문에 실무에서는 케이블의 구조감쇠 및 공기역학적감쇠와 같은 자체감쇠를 독립적으로 고려하곤 한다. 즉, 케이블에 발생하는 자체감쇠비와 댐퍼에 의해 부여되는 Universal Curve로부터 얻은 부가감쇠비를 산술적으로 합하여 케이블-댐퍼 시스템의 전체감쇠비를 결정해 왔다. 하지만 이러한 선형조합 접근법은 이론적인 근거가 미약하며 관련된 연구도 찾아볼 수 없는 실정이므로 이에 관한 유효성을 검증해 볼 필요가 있다. 이것을 위해 본 연구에서는 자체감쇠를 고려한 전체감쇠비 해석법을 개발하여 정해를 제시하고 이것을 기존의 선형조합 접근법에 의해 얻어진 전체감쇠비와 비교하여 선형조합 접근법의 유효성 여부를 검증하였다. 본 연구의 결과에 의하면, 강성은 작고 최적감쇠계수와 비슷한 감쇠계수를 갖는 댐퍼가 지점에서 가깝게 설치되어 있으며, 케이블의 진동이 저차 모드 위주로 발생하고 케이블의 자체감쇠가 크지 않은 일반적인 풍환경에서는 기존의 연구그룹에서 제시하는 연구결과나 선형조합 접근법을 적용하는 것에 무리가 따르지 않는다. 하지만 외부댐퍼나 예기치 못한 고차 진동모드의 발생, 강성이 큰 댐퍼가 사용되는 경우에는 본 연구를 적용하는 것이 바람직한 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구는 케이블의 자체감쇠를 고려한 전체감쇠비의 정해를 제시하고 이것을 토대로 선형조합 접근법에 대한 적용근거를 제시하였다는 점에서 의미를 찾을 수 있다. 차후 본 연구를 발전시켜 공기역학적감쇠에 대응하는 최적감쇠계수를 실시간으로 제시할 수 있게 된다면 MR(Magneto-rheological) 댐퍼와 같은 준능동 댐퍼의 케이블-댐퍼 시스템 제어의 중요한 알고리즘이 될 것으로 기대된다.
